ens Peripheral Illumination Correction

This powerful feature automatically corrects for

light fall-off at the four corners of an image

with many lenses. Since peripheral illumina-

tion characteristics vary for each lens, this cor-

rective system relies on a registered database.

With JPEG images, the correction is performed

in-camera at the time of capture. With RAW

images, the correction can be performed post-

capture using Canon DPP software. The EOS 50D

can store correction data for approximately 20

Canon lenses, and lens data can be added or

deleted using the EOS Utility.

Extended ive View

Function Capabilities

Live View unction allows the photographer to

compose and shoot using the rear LCD moni-

tor. Live View unction settings can now be

accessed via a centralized function screen for

easier use. In Live View mode, the camera

uses Evaluative metering via the image sensor.

Most shooting options — such as drive mode,

ISO speed, Picture Style, white balance and A

mode (see below) — can be selected while in

Live View mode.

There are three Live View A modes. In Quick

mode, the A sensor is used for phase-differ-

ence detection. One-Shot A is automatically

selected, and the user can select an A point

even while the Live View unction image is

displayed. When the A Start button is pressed,

the mirror goes down, momentarily interrupting

the live display. After autofocus has executed,

the mirror flips up, and the Live View unction

image is restored. The Live mode uses the image

sensor to perform contrast-detection A . The

Multi-controller can be used to select the A

point within 63% of the picture area. The ace

Detection Live mode uses contrast A to detect

the human face. If multiple faces are detected,

the face closer to the center and/or the larger

face is automatically selected as the A point.

The photographer can use the Multi-controller

to select a different face for A as desired.

3.0-inch Clear View CD Monitor

A high-performance LCD monitor provides

large, detailed image and informational display.

The brilliant 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor

features approximately 920,000 dots/VGA,

providing 100% image area coverage and a

wide viewing angle of 160° (both vertically

and horizontally). The color gamut is much

closer to the sRGB colorspace, ensuring more

tonally accurate, natural-looking, viewed

images. A new panel coating is more smudge

resistant and provides dependable anti-reflec-

tion properties.

Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3A

Originally

designed for

use with the

EOS 40D cam-

era, the W T-

E3A is also

compatible

with the EOS

50D, providing

advanced

functions and

capabilities,

such as both wireless (802.11b or g) and wired

(100Mbps Ethernet) LAN connectivity. Its pow-

erful transmitter with high-performance internal

antenna deliver extended wireless range — up

to 492 feet (150m)* from the computer or a

network access point. You can connect a com-

patible third-party GPS device via USB, enabling

location information to be added to each

Canon Innovation:

The Hallmark of All

EOS S R Cameras

Highly Sensitive 15.1 Megapixel

CMOS Sensor

The EOS 50D CMOS sensor delivers a high

imaging resolution of approximately 15.1

effective megapixels. The recording area of the

sensor is 22.3 x 14.9mm (APS-C), which results

in a lens conversion (crop) factor of approximately

1.6 in relation to the traditional full-frame 35mm

film format. An innovative micro semiconduc-

tor manufacturing process has increased the

photodiode area and the photoelectric conver-

sion rate, significantly improving noise perform-

ance, high ISO shooting capability and overall

dynamic range. Light gathering efficiency has

been improved through an improved fabrica-

tion process that eliminates gaps between the

microlenses. An enhanced high-speed data

acquisition system, which employs four chan-

nels per line, ensures faster image capture.

Advanced DIGIC 4 Image

Processor

Successive

generations

of Canon DIGIC technolo-

gy have brought steady

improvement in process-

ing speed and image

quality, providing the necessary power to deal

with the increased volume of data generated

by imaging sensors of ever-increasing pixel

dimensions. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor in

the EOS 50D incorporates the latest Canon

technologies, elevating imaging performance

to dizzying heights. Moreover, the DIGIC 4

Image Processor makes possible, an array of

advanced features, such as Live View unction

with ace Detection A , Auto Lighting Optimizer,

Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction and

expanded RAW capture options.

Expanded ISO Range

The advanced design of the Canon EOS 50D

CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor deliv-

ers a remarkably wide ISO range of 100–3200

in standard mode, selectable in 1/3-stop incre-

ments. In extended range mode, the high end

can be boosted to 6400 or 12800. The combined

low-noise performance of the CMOS sensor and

DIGIC4 Image Processor makes the higher ISO

settings usable in real-world shooting situations.

Multiple RAW Recording Options

The EOS 50D augments traditional RAW record-

ing by providing three RAW capture modes. The

standard RAW mode fully utilizes the sensor

providing a 4752 x 3168 pixel (approximately

15.1 Megapixels) image. The sRAW1 and

sRAW2 modes capture at 3267 x 2178 (approx.

7.1 Megapixels) and 2376 x 1584 (approx. 3.8

Megapixels) pixels, respectively. The latter two

RAW recording options greatly enhance shooting

flexibility, enabling the photographer to select

pixel dimensions appropriate to the assignment

and reducing file sizes whenever possible to

streamline processing.

Outstanding ow-Noise Performance

Riveting image quality is also assured by an

improved noise reduction system. A Custom

unction can be used to select automatic

noise reduction with long exposures. Similarly,

a Custom unction allows the photographer to

fine-tune the degree to which noise reduction is

applied when shooting at high ISO settings.

The DIGIC 4 Image Processor has significantly

reduced chroma noise in shadow areas.

Moreover, all but the strongest noise reduction

setting can now be selected without adversely

affecting the maximum burst shooting speed

in continuous mode.

Rugged Construction

The EOS 50D is a durable, dependable camera.

The top, front and rear covers of the body are

made of magnesium alloy, known for its out-

standing strength and light weight. urthermore,

by integrating the camera grip with the front

cover, Canon engineers achieved excellent body

rigidity. The body’s basic chassis is constructed

of stainless steel for exceptional durability and

long-term mechanical reliability.

Innovative EOS

Integrated Cleaning

System

The Canon EOS Integrated

Cleaning System uses ultra-

sonic vibration to remove

dust that settles on the sen-

sor surface. This self-cleaning routine is auto-

matically activated whenever the camera is

powered on or off, but can also be manually

activated by the user. Moreover, by shooting a

plain white subject, the photographer can

acquire dust delete data that are transmitted

along with the image (whether JPEG or RAW).

Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software

can then be used to manually or automatically

erase the dust spots. The EOS 50D incorporates

the advanced Integrated Cleaning System that

features an ultrasonic vibration system and a

fluorine coating on the low-pass filter that

better resists dust adhesion.

Fast Continuous Shooting with

Precise Autofocus

Nine A points make it easier to lock

onto subjects, even if they are not centered in the

composition. All A points are of the cross type,

with a diagonally mounted cross-type sensor at

the center A point that is sensitive to both

vertical and horizontal lines. This enhances

available light autofocus performance when using

lenses f/2.8 and faster. The EOS 50D autofocus

system also incorporates an advanced automatic

compensation system that virtually eliminates

the focusing errors that can occur with different

light sources. In addition, the EOS 50D provides

A microadjustment capability via a Custom

unction. Microadjustment can be performed

globally (for all lenses) or individually for each

lens in a photographer’s arsenal. Up to 20 lenses

can be programmed for A microadjustment.

The high-performance shutter assembly,

the fast autofocus system, the advanced

CMOS sensor, and the world-class DIGIC 4

Image Processor combine to make the EOS 50D

a highly responsive, fast-handling camera.

Despite the increased data handling requirements

associated with 15.1 Megapixel image capture,

the EOS 50D can shoot continuously at 6.3 fps.

It can also capture up to 60 consecutive full-

resolution JPEG images when a traditional C

card is used, and up to 90 JPEG images when a

UDMA C card is used, or up to 16 RAW images

in a single continuous burst with either a C or

UDMA C card.

Picture Style Presets

The Canon Picture Style feature provides a

number of user-friendly presets that eliminate

the need to make numerous individual changes

to camera settings. They enable the photographer

to make optimal choices based simply on the

type of shooting. The EOS 50D provides six factory

preset styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape,

Neutral, aithful and Monochrome) and enables

the user to program three additional custom

presets. Modifiable parameters include sharpness,

contrast, color saturation, color tone, filter effect

and toning effect.

Auto ighting Optimizer

The Auto Lighting Optimizer automatically adjusts

brightness and contrast during image processing.

This process can dramatically improve the tonal

qualities of an image, especially when shooting

conditions cause AE underexposure, flash

underexposure, low contrast, or back-lit scene

underexposure. It is automatically selected

when shooting with the EOS 50D in the ull

Auto or Creative Auto mode. In all other shooting

modes, the user can select standard, weak,

strong or no processing.

Diffractive Optics

Innovative Canon diffractive

optics (DO) technology results in

high-performance lenses that are more compact than

traditional refractive designs. Conventional glass lens

elements disperse incoming light, causing chromatic aber-

ration. The Canon multilayer diffractive elements are con-

structed by bonding diffraction gratings to the surfaces of

two or more lens elements. These elements are then com-

bined to form a single multilayer DO element. The DO ele-

ment’s dispersion characteristics are designed to cancel

chromatic aberrations at various wavelengths when combined

with conventional glass optics. This results in outstanding

reductions in “color fringing” — chromatic aberration —

rivaling that of L-Series telephoto lenses. Canon DO technology

is ideal for telephoto lens optics and makes possible

significant size reduction while maintaining superb optical

performance.

Ultrasonic Motor

Canon developed the world’s first

lens-based Ultrasonic Motor (USM)

to power the lens autofocus

mechanism. Instead of large noisy drive trains powered by

conventional motors, Canon USM lenses drive the lens

using the fine electronic vibrations created by piezoelectric

ceramic elements. The focusing action of the lens is fast

and quiet, with virtually instantaneous stops and starts.

USM lenses also draw minimal power from the camera,

ensuring longer battery life. Canon makes two types of

Ultrasonic Motor lenses. Ring-type USM lenses, found in

large aperture and super-telephoto designs, permit manual

focusing without first switching out of the Auto mode. Micro

USM designs bring the performance benefits of Canon USM

technology to a wide assortment of affordable F lenses.

Specialty enses

Super Telephoto enses — Distinguished by their white

color and seen at major sporting events around the world,

the powerful F Super Telephotos are ideal for getting up-

close detail from afar. The latest additions to the F Lenses

line-up, the EF 800mm f/5.6 IS USM and EF 200mm f/2

IS USM feature dust and water resistance, Optical Image

Stabilizer technology for up to 4-stops of shake correction

and magnesium alloy components for further weight

reductions while retaining strength and durability. They

both feature flourite and UD lens

elements reducing chromatic

aberration for outstanding optical

performance. They are also compati-

ble with xtender F 1.4x II and

xtender F 2x II, for additional power

and versatility.

Fisheye — Perfect for super wide-angle and special-effect

photography, Canon’s full-frame fisheye can focus

as close as 8 inches (0.2m), and delivers

exceptionally sharp images throughout its

focus range. Up to three gel filters can be

inserted into its built-in rear filter holder.

impossible for the unaided human eye

to detect.

TS-E — Canon’s Tilt/Shift lenses bring many of the

advantages of technical view cameras to the OS

System. Tilt movements alter the angle of the plane of

focus between the lens and film plane, allowing

precise control of depth-of-field even at large

apertures. Shift movements slide the lens’s

optical axis along the film/sensor plane,

enabling photographers to correct or alter per-

spective at almost any angle.

EF-S enses — Designed for Canon OS Digital cameras

with APS-C sized sensors (with a 1.6x conversion factor),

Canon F-S lenses take advantage of the

sensor’s smaller size to deliver

optimized performance in compact,

lightweight designs.

Hybrid Image Stabilizer

During normal shooting situations,

sudden camera movement in rota-

tional camera angles can cause

significant image blur. During

macro or close-up photography

however, the image blur caused

by linear camera shake — when

the camera moves parallel to

the subject — is more pro-

nounced. Optical Image

Stabilizer (OIS) is optimized to

counteract rotational or angular

camera shake and works well

for most camera shooting situa-

tions. To help compensate for linear camera shake, a new

acceleration sensor was required, the Hybrid Image

Stabilizer.

Canon Hybrid Image

Stabilizer technology,

found in the EF

100mm f/2.8 Macro

IS USM, employs a

highly sophisticated

algorithm combining

the feedback of both

the acceleration sensor and angular velocity sensor found

in current OIS technology. This combination moves the

image stabilizer lens elements, effectively compensating for

both rotational and linear camera shake. Hybrid IS dramati-

cally enhances the effects of Optical Image Stabilizer, espe-

cially during macro shooting. The incorporation of Hybrid IS

allows users to more effectively compensate for camera

shake during close-up shooting, marking a significant

improvement in macro photography for portrait, nature or

wedding shoots.

-Series enses

Highly regarded among professional photographers, Canon

L-Series lenses are distinguished by a bold red ring around

the outer barrel. What makes them truly distinctive, howev-

er, is their remarkable optical performance — the result of

sophisticated Canon technologies such as Ultra-low

Dispersion UD glass, fluorite and aspherical elements, and

Super Spectra Coating.

For many professional photographers, Canon EF Series lenses

alone are reason enough to choose the EOS System. A venerable

blend of world-class optics, microelectronics, and precision

manufacturing technologies such as a new SWC (Subwavelength

Structure Coating) lens coating for better light transmission

and reduced flare, EF lenses are perfected in Canon’s laborato-

ries and proven in the field. Whatever, whenever and wherever

you shoot, you can count on Canon EF lenses to deliver high

quality imaging performance.

Optical Image Stabilizer

Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer

technology makes handheld

photography possible in more

low-light situations than ever before. When camera shake

occurs using normal lenses without Optical Image

Stabilizer technology, the image projected on the image

sensor also shakes, often resulting in blurred images at

slower shutter speeds. With Canon Image Stabilized lens-

es, a special group of lens elements automatically shifts

position, compensating for the movement and stabilizing

the image. This compensatory effect adds the equivalent

of up to 4-stops (depending upon the lens), expanding a

photographer’s handheld options dramatically.

With Optical IS in the lens, C anon can equip each IS lens

with the stabilizer it nee s for effective shake correction.

Other systems are limite by how far they can move an

image sensor, an as a result, their stabilization is less

effective as telephoto

lengths get longer.

Also, Optical IS

can be seen

right in the

viewfin er —

impossible

with some

other stabiliz-

er systems.

Smarter Flash Photography

E-TT II

Canon -TTL ( valuative

Through-The-Lens) flash

exposure control uses a

preflash fired after the

shutter button has been

fully depressed — but

before the camera’s reflex

mirror goes up. The cam-

era’s valuative metering

sensor — the same sensor

that reads ambient light —

is used to compare the

ambient light values with

the light reflected from the

subject by the preflash.

The camera then calculates

and stores the flash output

required for optimum

exposure of the main sub-

ject and the background.

-TTL II additionally incorporates distance information

from compatible F lenses for the most precise flash expo-

sure control. For example, it ignores sensor areas that

report abnormally high levels, eliminating underexposure

that can otherwise be caused by straight reflections.

Correct flash exposure is ensured even when shooting a

subject with a highly reflective object in the background, or

if the subject itself is highly reflective. In addition,

because distance information is used in calculating the

flash output level, -TTL II prevents over-exposure when

photographers lock focus and recompose.

Wireless Auto Flash

Control

Multiple Speedlites can

obtain lighting effects not

possible with a single

flash. While previous

multiple-flash setups

required cumbersome

wires to connect the camera and flashes, compatible

OS Speedlites can be used as wireless Slaves. With a

Speedlite 580 X II or Speedlite Transmitter ST- 2 attached

to an OS Digital SLR, an unlimited number of compatible

X-Series Speedlites can operate as dedicated Slave

units. With nothing more than an OS camera and a num-

ber of Speedlite flashes, the opportunities for creative

lighting are endless.

Macro Photography and Wireless Options

The Canon Speedlite flash system family includes versatile

solutions for macro photography requirements: The Macro

Ring ite MR-14EX features twin circular flash tubes that

can be fired at equal or uneven power with a ratio that can

be varied over a six-stop range. One or more compatible

X-Series Speedlites can be used as wireless slaves along

with the MR-14 X. Incandescent focusing lamps and two

types of modeling flash are provided to enable preview of

lighting effects. The controller unit features an illuminated

full-information LCD panel and accepts optional hi-capacity

battery packs.

The Macro Twin ite MT-24EX gives serious close-up, nature

and macro enthusiasts a different, directional option in

macro lighting. The two separate flash heads can be

swiveled around the lens and aimed independently. They can

even be removed from their holder and mounted off-camera.

Flash head output can also be independently adjusted with

easy ratio control over a six-stop range. Like the MR-14 X,

the Macro Twin Lite MT-24 X is fully -TTL compatible with

all OS SLR bodies. Wireless -TTL flash control is possible

with one or more 580 X II, 580 X, 550 X, 430 X II, 430 X,

or 420 X Speedlites configured as slave units.

The Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 is a dedicated controller

that can be used with an unlimited number of compatible

Speedlite slave flashes. The transmitter is effective over

distances up to 33 ft. outdoors and 49.5 ft. indoors.

Integral to the EOS System, Canon Speedlites are the ideal flash

light source for EOS SLR cameras. They are technologically

advanced to provide perfect exposure and illumination with just

about any subject. They are also highly adaptable, providing

an endless variety of configurations and versatile shooting

options. For professional flash photography, rely on Canon

Speedlites to solve the most demanding lighting challenges.

The Power of ireless Connectivity

141

As quickly as the digital SLR has become commonplace in the

hands of professional photographers and enthusiasts alike, so

too has wireless communication between the SLR and external

components. The EOS series has a number of dedicated

Wireless File Transmitters that keep the camera connected to

the wireless world, simply, with tremendous speed. Whether

connected through a port on the side of the camera or incorpo-

rated into a camera-integrated design, Canon Wireless

Transmitters can connect and have two-way communication

with computers and handheld devices.

folder, which copies the full file to the computer. OS

Utility connectivity allows the photographer to connect a

single camera to a computer for advanced two-way commu-

nication. WFT controllers can also connect through USB or

Bluetooth to GPS units, and have coordinates, altitude and

time code added to each image’s shooting (or XIF) data.

xternal hard drives can be attached for direct recording or

backup. Plus, select WFT models can be used as remote

control receivers, allowing for wireless shooting and con-

trol, from a range of web-enabled handheld devices — even

iPhones and the iPod Touch.

Wi-Fi & WPS

Connecting the camera to a network

over Wi-Fi with a Wireless Protected

Setup (WPS) couldn’t be simpler. There are three ways to

connect a WFT equipped OS

with a Server: With a push

button configuration (PBC

Method), the photographer

selects WPS on the camera

and pushes the wireless LAN

terminal’s WPS button to make the connection. With the

WPS Pin Method, the photographer selects WPS (Pin

Method) on the camera and an 8-digit identification num-

ber is assigned and sent to the LAN terminal. Once con-

firmed, the secure connection is complete. Finally, a WPS

can also be set up with a connection wizard. The photog-

rapher selects the “wizard connection” on the camera’s

menu, selects a Wireless LAN terminal, sets an encryption

key and then enters it for a wireless connection.

File Transfer & FTP WFT

With a WFT and an FTP server, wireless remote live view

shooting is possible over the Internet, making it possible

to setup, shoot and save from a remote location.

Meanwhile, through an Internet browser, the camera’s

Live View image can be seen, settings can be confirmed

and changed, shots can be taken and images can be

recorded on the camera and computer simultaneously.

Media Server (D NA)

Many Canon WFT devices are compatible with DLNA

(Digital Living Network Alliance) compliant devices. With a

WFT attached, the Digital OS can create a dedicated DLNA

media server, allowing numerous points of access to

images, instantaneously and wirelessly. This means that

not only can media recorded on the OS be uploaded wire-

lessly to a computer; they can also be viewed through

DLNA compatible audio systems, televisions, Digital Video

Players, even networked media players.

Camera inking

A new fe ature available on WFT

transmitters, WFT- 2 II A*,

WFT- 4 II A and WFT- 5A, camera

linking makes it possible for up to

10 cameras to shoot the same

subject simultaneously, from dif-

ferent angles. Without a Wireless

Access Point, up to 10 cameras can be connected and set

up to take a shot the instant the shutter is released on the

Master (main) camera. With an effective distance of 150

meters, this linked shooting is invaluable for the best pos-

sible capture of sports, news and wildlife and other quickly

moving subjects that can be shot from a number of angles.

Bluetooth, USB (GPS)

Whether connected by Bluetooth or through

USB, GPS devices can be connected to Canon

WFT transmitters to transmit location and ele-

vation data along with the XIF data for each image. With

Bluetooth connections, photographers can enjoy all of the

benefits of GPS units without the concern of tangled wires

interfering while shooting, and can connect directly to

Bluetooth compatible printers. With USB, not only are GPS

connections possible, it’s also easy to connect an external

Hard Drive for direct recording or backup.

EOS Utility Mode

With OS Utility (previously

known as PTP), photogra-

phers can pair their camera

and a computer to remotely

configure camera settings,

do wireless Live View com-

posing and shooting and complete image transfer with a

direct wireless connection independent of a network or

Internet connection. Perfect for shooting wirelessly in

remote locations and for dedicated, secure connections

within the studio, OS Utility mode is a useful alternative

to networked wireless shooting.

Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 II A*

Compatible with the OS-1D Mark IV and the

OS-1Ds Mark III (after a Firmware upgrade),

the compact new WFT- 2 II A connects directly

to the camera. It’s II 802.11 a/b/g compatible

for fast communication, and works with WPS

setups, the hyper-sophisticated Canon Camera

Linking Function and enables WFT Server

Remote Live View shooting. It can be a dedicated Media

Server, plus has Bluetooth and USB built in for connections

to GPS units and more. Designed to mount directly to the

side of the compatible OS camera, it maintains the

integrity of all weather-resistant seals and the rugged dura-

bility of the camera while affording access to all the cam-

era’s buttons and controls.

Wireless File Transmitter

WFT-E4 II A

Built for the Canon OS 5D Mark II,

the new WFT- 4 II A not only provides wireless functions,

it’s also a fully operational camera grip offering a full array

of buttons for seamless vertical shooting. The WFT- 4 II A

offers fast II 802.11 a/b/g connectivity, is perfect for

wireless camera linking and syncing, and is WPS and

Bluetooth compatible. It can be a wireless media server,

plus a remote Live View shooting server.

Wireless File Transmitter

WFT-E5A

Designed not only as a fully-func-

tioning dedicated grip with shutter release for the OS 7D,

the New WFT- 5A is also an II 802.11 a/b/g compatible

Live View Function is a powerful problem-solver that

addresses all those situations in which it would be awkward,

difficult, or impossible to shoot conventionally by looking

through the viewfinder. Requested by numerous studio

and remote sports photographers, the Canon Remote Live

View Function enables VF (electronic viewfinder) shooting

via a wired or wirelessly connected computer. While view-

ing the real-time output from the camera’s imaging sensor

on a computer monitor, the photographer can perform

numerous functions — such as check and adjust the focus

using 5x and 10x magnification; check for moiré and false

color; and verify composition, lighting and exposure —

before remotely releasing the shutter via the computer.

Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3

Canon’s advanced data

verification hardware/

software kit consists of

a USB card reader/

writer, a dedicated

Original Data Security

Card, and software to

be installed on a

and integrity of image data. It can also identify specific

data elements (image pixels, XIF text, GPS info, etc.) that

have been altered.

A feature in this version is encryption capability.***

Photographers can encrypt their image files to prevent

unauthorized viewing or wireless theft. ncrypted images

can be viewed only on personal computers on which the

necessary OSK- 3 decoding engine has been installed.

Dust Delete Function

By photographing a plain white

card at infinity focus, the photog-

rapher can acquire data identify-

ing the position of any dust parti-

cles on the sensor surface. This data is appended to the

image file and can be used by Digital Photo Professional

software to automatically erase dust spots. This unique

system can be a tremendous time saver, especially for

professional photographers who must shoot (and change

lenses) in dusty environments. It greatly reduces time spent

at the computer touching up images.
